I recently attended Emily Baron's bagel making class with my wife and we both had the best time!…read moreI'm a NY/NJ native and love great bagels and was eager to see if the bagels we made in class could rival the ones my family grew up loving. It soon became apparent that Emily's love of baking and her many years living in NYC made her the best teacher for this bagel aficionado! From the moment we arrived the entire class was well prepared, organized and meticulously planned. She's a natural teacher who kept the class moving, patiently answering questions while guiding us through the entire bagel making process with plenty of hands on experience. Catherine, who assisted the class, is also an experienced baker who worked tirelessly to help make the class run smoothly and shared her wisdom. We loved every minute of the class; from making the dough to shaping the bagels to boiling to adding toppings to baking and then making our schmears. We had the choice of sesame, poppyseed and everything toppings and I was eager to load them up! We made two schmears: scallion, and honey with chopped pecan cream cheese. It was so satisfying to eat the mouth watering bagels with fixings at the end of class. We were given very detailed and clear instructions to take home with us along with bagels to boil and bake at home. I'm so glad we took this class. I recommend the Asheville Kitchen and look forward to coming back for more foodie adventures. It's a local treasure. Keep up the great work!

There clearly is a lot more to learn about Thai cooking and sauces but this was a wonderful introduction, creation and meal shared with pleasant friendly company.

I appreciated the freedom to prepare/cook the dish I chose and the comfort in asking questions as needed. They created a very welcoming and easeful space for preparing, cooking and socializing.

Working in the restaurant business I do not shy away from places like this to seek out treasures. I have been wanting to stop by here for a long time but my hours don't always work well with theirs. It is also hard to tell whether it is open or closed because of the old windows and no bright signage in the window. It is a pretty small space but they have packed a lot in there, surprisingly in an organized fashion. There is a variety of things anyone obsessed with food and cooking would want without paying the prices of retail kitchen stores like WS. A china cap is under $20. The same chinois I paid $50+ for in Charleston,SC is under $30. Small cake pans for $2.50. They have a large assortment of cake pans, all the scoops you could need, Cambros, knives, cleaning supplies, glasses, barware, etc. Here is the catch: cash only, unless you are a restaurant. Then I assume you setup an account and pay by check. It is super old school and I don't think that's going to change. I walked in on a rare day that I had cash and was able to get my goodies. I will be a return customer for sure. I hope more people check them out!

My father and my step father's names are confusing for tabloid researchers lol :/ Asheville is a short drive from my grandparents home in TN. I had an excellent experience here as a student, with many fond memories. I highly reccomend the experience, and have nothing but affection for the school. Unfortunately, people who never attended the school and have no connection to it wish to be associated with alumni and with the names of people they deem as socially elite - or oppressive in some way. I encourage people to be aware of this problem before making any assumptions.
